Madam Speaker, on the discussion about fossil fuel subsidies, I am with the member partway. I agree that when we are cleaning up orphaned wells, it violates the polluter pays principle. I was for it because I did not want to see money going to big oil during the pandemic, although they managed to get their hands on it anyway.
There are new subsidies coming up. We have the new pledge to put federal money, as much as $9 billion, into a technology that does not work, carbon capture and storage. It would allow the fossil fuel industry to pocket more profits. If my friends in the NDP really cared about climate, they should have made it an issue before they signed the deal with the Liberals.
Will the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands join us in pushing to stop subsidizing fossil fuels while we have any prayer of holding on to 1.5°C?
